Partial List of Project Needs
Infrastructure Projects
Kampala Solid Waste Treatment and Disposal PPP Project
A first of its kind investment ready opportunity in Uganda that highlights the huge potential for waste treatment and disposal in Africa. The Project will manage at least 1,000 daily tonnes of Municipal Solid Waste (“MSW”) guaranteed and delivered by KCCA to the existing disposal facility within Kampala City. In return, KCCA seeks to partner with a credible entity to design, build, finance and operate a treatment and disposal facility. This includes 2 sites; a 35-acre existing landfill and an 140-acre greenfield site which would be made available to the private partner who will be expected to carry out:
Kampala Slum Redevelopment Project
Budget: USD $32.85M

“It is important for us to continue with the process of value addition. We produce milk, cotton, fish and coffee. If we are able to have more processing facilities, it would be good for us,” said Kadaga.
She also interested the investors in industrial parks, saying that this would not only address the high youth unemployment in Uganda, but also provide market for Ugandan products.
“We have a number of industrial parks in the country and I would be happy to see some investment there,” said the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga who has met and asked the visiting Presidents of Major Jewish American Organisations to support Uganda’s agricultural sector.
